Promise & Promiscuity: A New Musical by Jane Austen and Penny Ashton

Penny Ashton's award-winning one-woman musical returns to the Calgary Fringe, spinning all of Jane Austen's characters into a single hilarious romp. Follow Elspeth as she battles literary snobbery, her cousin's digestions and her mother's nerves, armed only with a blushing countenance, excellent ukulele skills and being quite bright for a girl. A Best Theatre winner at Adelaide Fringe from Penash Productions of Auckland, NZ, it blends song, dance and appalling cross-stitching. Expect mild innuendo and audience participation across the 70-minute show.
